Lipolysis is the metabolic process of breaking down tissue fats into their constituent fatty acids under the action of the enzyme lipase.

In cosmetology, the name “lipolysis” was also given to the procedure itself for breaking down fat using various procedures. The main advantage of lipolysis is the elimination of surgical intervention (liposuction). In particular, injection lipolysis is a procedure that involves the injection of a drug into adipose tissue, which ensures the breakdown of its cells.
